  • Building a Nuget Server with gold plating

    Building a Nuget Server with gold plating

    Last week, Phil Haack wrote a post on how to build a NuGet Server. A NuGet server is really easy to build because 90% of the work is done by running a NuGet command. Just for fun, I decided to add some extra functionality to my NuGet Server such as a package upload form and a formatted list of packages. In preparing my NuGet server, I followed Phil’s direction to a tee except for the fact that I used a “empty MVC 3 app with Razor support” instead of using a “ASP.NET Empty Web Application”. ...

  • How To Find Out Which NuGet Packages Depend on Yours

    How To Find Out Which NuGet Packages Depend on Yours

    Feb 11

    Renaming a package ID is a potentially destructive action and one we don’t recommend doing. Why? Well if any other packages depend on your package, you’ve effectively broken them if you change your package ID. For example, today I wanted to rename a poorly named package, MicrosoftWebMvc, to Mvc2Futures. What I ended up doing is recreating the same package with the new ID and uploading it. That way existing packages that depend on MicrosoftWebMvc aren’t broken. But now, I have two packages ...

    Authenticate Orchard users with AppFabric Access Control Service

    From the initial release of Orchard, the new .NET CMS, I have been wondering how difficult (or easy) it would be to integrate external (“federated”) authentication like Windows Azure AppFabric Access Control Service with it. After a few attempts, I managed to wrap-up a module for Orchard which does that: Authentication.Federated. After installing, configuring and enabling this module, Orchard’s logon page is replaced with any SAML 2.0 STS that you configure. To give you a quick idea of what ...

    With the release of Windows Phone 7 last year, Im really interested in mobile applications. Why? Well, developing for Windows Phone 7 did not require me to learn new things. I can use my current skill set and build cool apps for that platform. But what about the other platforms? If you look at all platforms from a web developer perspective, theres one library that also allows you to use your existing skill set: jQuery Mobile. Know HTML? Know jQuery? Know *any* web development language like P...

    A few weeks ago, I finally finished the migration of Daniela’s old blog to a new domain and a new blogging platform: we moved from Subtext to WordPress. The reasons of the move There are two reason behind that move: the big ecosystem around WordPress, and the lack of a real desktop blogging tool on the Mac (combined to the outdated FCKeditor 2 that is used by Subtext). During the migration Daniela thought about a different Information Architecture of her content spread around in the web, d...

    Want to create a photo gallery with fancy special effects? Mike Alsup, who has developed several popular plugins for jQuery, has uploaded his jQuery Cycle (jCycle) plugin to the Microsoft Ajax CDN. This plugin enables you to take a set of images, and transition from one image to another using a special effect. In other words, it gives you a way to display a fancy slide show. Here’s a super simple sample of how you can use this plugin with a static list of images: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//...
